Question regarding the relationship between GR and SR

I was wondering what would happen in the following (hypothetical)
scenario:

Say there is an extremely massive planet with person A on it and
person B is in a spaceship outside of its gravity field. (The planet
has no atmosphere and it isn't spinning.)

The planet is so massive that A's time-rate is twice as slow from B's
frame; and B's time-rate is twice as fast from A's frame.

Now say A wanted to leave the planet.

Would his escape velocity be 0.87c, where gamma=2 according to SR?

And if B nudged his ship into the gravity field and it went into free
fall, would its velocity, relative to the surface, be 0.87c just
before it smashed into it?

For the time being, along that matter, you do have a simply to pay an
adequate attention to what would follows:

However, along the first attempt, you do fall to this ( h = G  = 0, 1 / c
inequal 0 ), as a magically it would turn along the second attempt to that
( h = 0,  G inequal 0 and 1 / c inequal 0 ).

Therefore, a definitelly controlled along this ( G = 1 / c = 0, h inequal
0 ), and finally, means a simply, that you do have to believe in a magic, a
definitely as a matter a fact.

Yes, as seen by A, but not, I think, by B (I believe that A would appear
to have a velocity of 0.866c/2 = 0.433c), due to gravitational/GR effects.

Yes, as seen by both A and B. Here on Earth, if you ignore the effects
from the sun, a 10 metric ton meteor aquires 7 mg of kinetic energy just
before impact (also ignoring the atmosphere), and our time-rate is 10
tons/(10 tons + 7 mg). I can't remember the velocity, but it has the
value needed to obtain our time-rate.

Thank you. That was the exact information I was looking for.

My scenario is obviously oversimplified, but I'm just trying to get a
sense of what's going on beyond the complex math.

Google

~30 hits

Sounds reasonable that, as with Newton, what it takes to get out
is what you get when you fall in.  But I suspect it will be more
complicated than this...

Welcome.  The noise here is a little high, but the literate on
relativity hang out here also.

Once you disagree with Smith you get plonked, so much for his fuckin'

I did a lot of searching on google, but I didn't seem to find an
answer to this specific question.

Thanks.

The noise rate definitely seems high: one guy is telling me something
about "magic". I don't know if he's being sarcastic in a completely
weird way, or if he stopped taking his medication...

Assume everyone here is either on or off his/her meds.  It is
safer to assume you are passing through an asylum, where everyone
is in medical garb.

When I grow up I wanna be hanging...

er ahhhh maybe neither one.  ;-)

Somebody is messing with the Wiki.

Person A would have low blood pressure.

Person B  can never escape the planet's gravity

BS!  Person A is dead from low blood pressure.

Person A is dead so can't want anything.

1/2 the lightning stroke's duration minus the square of the sums of
the Newtonian light inertial flux drag...adjusted for the embankments
roughness non-renormalization.

Gawd!  Is Person B still alive?  Tell Bush's boosters about it.
Any bugs alive and you get your money back.

LOL!

Yes I guess both Person A and Person B would be having a "bad hair
day"...

I will hazard a guess that G-force is proportional to escape velocity.

If that's true, since 11 m/s = 1 G,  261,000 m/s would equal 24,000
Gs.

If a jet-fighter pilot blacks out at around 8 Gs because the blood
flow in his brain stops - his blood pressure is zero - 24,000 Gs would
probably turn his brain into Bose-Einstein condensate...

But if Person A has a hard time getting out of bed, he doesn't have to
worry: the density of his planet would probably be greater than a
neutron star and collapse into a black hole.

Person B, btw, is no fool: she did an EVA before recklessly sending
her spaceship into the former-planet/black-hole.

Now imagine Einstein riding his motorcycle at the speed of light
alongside a beam of light and what that would have done to his blood
pressure...
